Breast reduction surgery, or reduction mammoplasty, is often perceived as a purely cosmetic procedure. However, for many women, it offers significant relief from physical discomfort and emotional distress, leading to a profound improvement in both physical and mental well-being. Dr. Samuel Beran, a renowned plastic surgeon, has helped countless women experience this transformation, guiding them toward a healthier and happier life.

Menopausal changes mark a significant transition in a woman's life, characterized not just by the cessation of menstruation but by a myriad of physical and emotional changes. These changes can profoundly affect how women view themselves, impacting their self-esteem and feelings of femininity and sexual appeal.

Addressing Body Changes During Menopause: What Can You Do?

Amidst this transformative period, the role of plastic surgery in helping women reclaim their sense of youth and attractiveness has become increasingly prominent. The journey through menopause often brings noticeable changes in body composition, skin elasticity, and overall appearance. Weight may distribute differently, wrinkles deepen, and areas that once felt firm may start to sag.

As women journey gracefully through life, their bodies naturally go through transformative changes.

As women gracefully journey through life, their bodies undergo natural changes, marking the passage of time and experiences. Dr. Samuel Beran understands the unique needs and concerns that women face as they age, particularly when it comes to addressing issues such as sagging breasts. With compassion, expertise, and a dedication to empowering women, Dr. Beran offers a range of approaches to breast reduction, helping his patients regain confidence and embrace their beauty at every stage of life.

The Impact of Sagging Breasts on Confidence and Well-Being

Every year about this time in my plastic surgery practice, I start to notice certain trends that are happening in the type of body procedures and facial treatments patients are asking for. This year, I’m seeing a shift away from bigger is better as in the past, especially regarding breasts, butts, cheeks and lips. Both women and men are now going for more natural-looking results.

In my plastic surgery practice, women frequently come to me wanting larger, fuller breasts. On the other hand, I also have many patients who would like their breasts to be smaller. Very large breasts, especially on small-framed women, can cause significant physical discomfort, neck pain, back pain, rashes, posture problems and even exercise interference. Overly large breasts can also make it hard to find properly fitting clothing and bathing suits, and for many women, can make them uncomfortably self-conscious.

If your breasts have become uncomfortable and you feel they are too large, breast reduction surgery can bring about dramatic changes for you. As well as reducing the size and weight of your breasts, this procedure allows you to feel measurably better about yourself and your appearance. I also perform breast reduction on men, usually due to a condition called gynecomastia, where the breasts are abnormally enlarged.

When it comes to breast size, many people assume that women only want to go larger. However, in my plastic surgery practice many patients come to me wanting their breasts to be smaller. Very large breasts, especially on small-framed women, can cause a lot of physical discomfort: neck pain, back pain, indentions on the shoulders from heavy straps, skin rashes and problems with exercise.

Overly large breasts can also make it hard to find properly fitting clothing and bathing suits, and for many women, can make them uncomfortably self-conscious. If this sounds familiar to you, breast reduction surgery might be the welcome relief you’ve been looking for.

I often feel that a video can accomplish a lot more than a printed brochure. That’s why I’ve started making short videos where I talk about a certain plastic surgery procedure, and my patients seem to really like them. I describe if you’re a good candidate for that particular surgery, what happens during the procedure, what results to expect, and what the risks and benefits are. Since I’ve had a lot of patients come to me lately asking about breast reduction, I thought I’d make a video about it.

Since my patients seem to like these videos as much as I like making them, I thought I’d make one discussing 3 popular breast shaping techniques: breast augmentation, breast lift and breast reduction. You can read what I talk about (here in this blog) or you can watch my short 2-minute video by clicking on the button below.

If you feel your breasts are too large, especially if they have become cumbersome and uncomfortable, breast reduction surgery can be a very effective solution. As well as reducing the size and weight of your breasts, this procedure also improves the shape of your breasts and nipple areas, allowing you to feel good about yourself and your appearance, sometimes for the first time.

It’s also important to know that I perform breast reduction on men as well, usually due to a condition called gynecomastia in which male breasts are abnormally enlarged.
